2005 Montgomery 15 - Hull Number 628
If the mast carried above the bow pulpit causes clearance concerns with the garage door, here is one way to carry the mast lower. On the newer trailers there is a front mast carrier. It may be cut down and resecured to carry the mast under the pulpit. On Bella's stern is a new part from Montgomery Boats (call for price). All the new ones come with a stainless steel, two position rear mast carrier. In the lower position it's perfest to match the dropped down front carrier. In the upper position it assists in mast raising, allowing the shrouds to hang free and untangled.
